  • One of my favourite spots in London to admire both Tower of London and Tower Bridge is at the @aquashard in the @theshardlondon l love coming up her for #cocktails. Btw did you notice the cruise ship going under the bascules? Definitely something you don't see everyday. #towerbridge #toweroflondon #bridge #visitlondon #london #lovegreatbritain #uk #travelstoke #beautifuldestinations #neverstopexploring #travelblogger #England #photosofbritain #historicsite #bbcbritain #history #ukpotd #city #architecture #thisislondon #prettycitylondon #thedreamlocation #aquashard #shardpics
  • True Fact, in 1952 when the 78 #doubledecker bus was crossing #towerbridge the bascules bagan to rise. Instead of stopping the bus accelerated & jumped over from the south to the north bascules which hadn't started rising. Fortunately everyone on board went away with only minor injuries. Is that crazy or what? You can still catch the number 78 double-decker across but i can't guarantee any jumping!! #bridge #heritage #visitlondon #london #lovegreatbritain #uk #travelstoke #beautifuldestinations #neverstopexploring #travelblogger #England #photosofbritain #historicsite #bbcbritain #history #ukpotd #city #architecture #thisislondon #prettycitylondon #thedreamlocation

  • How is that for a view, can you see me? If you look closely right behind me is the #summit of Mount Snowdon and just to the left is the ocean. It is rare to see them both especially in the same picture because it is not clear up here oftern. It might help that I'm around 3000 feet high scrambling & #ridgewalking on #cribgoch #snowdonia #mountsnowdon #hikingadventures #outdoors #visitwales #mountains #adventuregirl #neverstopexploring #travelstoke #beautifuldestinations #nature #UK #natureporn #bestmountainsartists #snowdonianationalpark #thisgirlcan #hike365 #Wales #gopro #goprohero5 #travelblogger
